Morrissey hospitalized for concussion

3 years ago

Morrissey is on the mend after suffering a series of injuries that landed him in the hospital this weekend.

A post on his fan site "True to You" says the singer was discharged from Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles Saturday after being treated for a concussion, whiplash, and an arm injury.

The note doesn't explain how Morrissey sustained the damage, although it does add a "thank you" from the former Smiths frontman for the "outstanding level of care and attention" he received at Cedars-Sinai.

The L.A. hospital stint is the latest in a string of health issues Morrissey has had to deal with over the past year. Severe food poisoning forced him to cancel a South American tour this summer, and before that a bleeding ulcer, Barrett's esophagus, and double pneumonia forced him to call of a North American trek.
